Definitions
- the present invention relates to a reconversion device from a semi-automatic operation system to a pump system and vice versa for fixed barrel sporting and defense guns.
- the sporting and defense guns presently in use rely normally on a single operation principle either of the semi-automatic type such as gas operated backward moving barrel guns, fixed barrel guns using the kinetic recoil energy, etc., or of the manual pump type based on the movement of the cocking rod or handgrip in a direction parallel to the gun barrel guided by a tubular magazine mounted on a support structure secured to the barrel.
- the semi-automatic type such as gas operated backward moving barrel guns, fixed barrel guns using the kinetic recoil energy, etc.
- the manual pump type based on the movement of the cocking rod or handgrip in a direction parallel to the gun barrel guided by a tubular magazine mounted on a support structure secured to the barrel.
- This gun is of the fixed barrel type using the kinetic recoil energy of the arm for the ejection of the cartridge and the recocking of the arm.
- breech bolt a breech bolt head separated from the remaining breech bolt (hereinafter simply referred to as breech bolt) with a spring freely interposed between them, having the function of making elastic the recoil of the mass of the breech bolt against the breech bolt head thus cushioning the recoil serving to automatically register the release of the locking system thus providing a delay time at the opening, and causing by its reaction to the backward movement of the whole breech bolt head--breech bolt system the ejection of the cartridge and the recocking of the arm.
- the reconversion device is characterized in that it comprises an annular control handle rotatably supported on a ring secured to an end of a tubular cocking rod axially slidable on a tubular magazine, said handle and said ring being provided with means for their mutual snap action engagement in four positions at 90° to one another, said handle having, projecting from an end front face thereof, two diametrically opposite sectors each ending in a tooth and the front face of a support of the magazine, secured to the barrel, facing the end front face of the handle having an annular recess, with two diametrically opposite passages with a height larger than that of the remaining recess, said recess communicating with an annular undercut groove in the support, the two passages of the annular recess having a larger height being adapted to receive the teeth of the two sectors projecting from the end front face of the handle, the four snap engagement positions of the handle and the ring secured to the cocking rod corresponding, alternately, to the engagement of the teeth of the teeth of the
- FIG. 1 shows in sectional view the reconversion device in the condition of semi-automatic operation of the arm
- FIG. 2 shows a view, partly in section, of the reconversion device in an intermediate condition between the semi-automatic and the pump operation of the arm;
- FIG. 3 shows a cross-sectional view of the reconversion device
- FIG. 4 shows in fragmentary sections the whole arm with the reconversion device in the condition of semi-automatic operation
- FIG. 5 shows in fragmentary sections the whole arm with the reconversion device in the condition of manual repetition pump operation by movement of the cocking rod.
- the reconversion device consists (FIG. 1) of a knurled annular control handle 1 mounted on a ring 2 which is internally threaded and secured to a cocking rod 3 provided with a handgrip 4 and slidable on a tubular magazine 5.
- the annular handle 1 carries on its front side two sectors 6, of which only one is shown since the other, quite similar, is in a diametrically opposite position, both sectors being provided with a tooth 7 adapted to engage an undercut groove 8 in a support 9 of the magazine secured to the barrel 10.
- the annular control handle 1 is mounted (FIG. 3) on the threaded ring 2, screwed on the cocking rod 3 by means of a flat semicircular spring 11 which permits a complete rotation through 360° of the control handle about an axis with four indexing positions, every 90° one, individually determined by the engagement of a wedge folded end 12 of the spring with one of four holes 13 provided in the annular control handle 1, because of the tension of the spring, but does not permit the longitudinal sliding of the control handle in a direction parallel to the barrel of the arm.
- the flat spring 11 in fact, because of the tension it undergoes in the position it is mounted (FIG. 3), engages both the annular groove 14 in the control handle 1 and the groove 15 facing the groove 14 provided in the internally threaded ring 2 secured to the cocking rod 3.
- a hook folded end 16 of the flat spring 11 engaging through a hole in the ring 2 a notch in the cocking rod 3 determines the tension of the spring 11 and keeps it still when the control handle 1 is rotated to select the type of arm operation.
- the semi-automatic operation of the arm is determined (FIG. 4) by the engagement of the tooth 7 of the sector 6 of the control handle in the groove 8 of the support 9 of the magazine 5 secured to the barrel 10.
- the space left is sufficient to determine the compression of the spring 26 because of the kinetic recoil energy of the arm and, as a result, the opening, the ejection of the cartridge and, next, the return to closed position because of the return spring 27 disposed inside the stock 28; everything according to the contents of the Italian Pat. No. 762.319 which covers this semi-automatic operation system.
- the pump manual repetition operation system of the arm is determined (FIG. 5) by the sliding, in a direction parallel to the barrel, of the cocking rod 3 together with the handgrip 4, the extension 20 and the braces 21 as well as the control handle 1 mounted on the threaded ring 2 screwed on it.
- the same return spring 27 also keeps the whole cocking rod group forwardly when the arm not being in use, the handgrip 4 is not actuated by hand.
- the whole reconversion system reaches therefore the purpose of having on the same arm two different easily selectionable types of operation which amplify its performance making it more responsive to all different requirements and conditions of use.
